To all whom it may concern:

Be it kuonu that l, Wanner ll. WIN- BORNE, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Conway, county of llorry, State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvenmnts iii Journal-Boxes fer'Side-Head Frames, of which the followxin is a full and clear specification, reference being had to the RCGUIIP- l0 panying drawing, in \\l1lCl1- Figure I is a vertical sectional view-s of a device embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof; Fi 3 is a detail perspective visa of the loiz'er caring box; Fig.

t is a horizontal section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2; and, Fi 5 is a horizontal section on the line 5 5 0 Fig. Fi 6 is a detailed enlarged vertical section oi the connection betneen the adjusting rod 5 and the lever 8. This'invention has relation to the means for mounting the vertical cutter-carrying shaft in the side head frame of a planing or matching machine and the special object of the present invention is to provide means for readily rei'noving the bearing blocks so that the babbitts may be renen ed "eithout appreciable loss of time, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

Referring to the dranings b reference letters, a designates the vertiea side head frame which is adapted to be supported in the usual way and in a hich is journaled the vertical cutter-carrying shaftb. This shaft 7 is adapted to be supported ail its lower end 0 byzrshoe of an suitable s motors and is adapted also to )e raised and lom 'ered by a suitable device attached toits lot? uond and mounted on the depending" arm (I o tlighhud frame,

The upper bearing consists of a pair of boxes 6 and f carrying the Babbitt metal bearings and adapted to fit snugly between the forwardly extending flan es g cast intogral with the head frame. "hose flanges g are provided with imiardlydumed [hinges it for so porting the boxes verticall Tl!" inner ion 6 is clamped in. against [lie head frame by means of tee pairs of screws 1' tapped obli uely through the flanges y and adapted to, ear upon the opposite sides of the bearing 'bloelr'; clamped in place u ion the inner bearing and around the shaft )3 means of set screvs tapped through overhanging flanges It on the Homes y.

1e lor er bearing is constructed substan- T he outer bearing is tially like the upper bearing namely \vith two boxes 2' and f confined between vertical flanges 9' east integral with the head frame and provided with lIl'fiflIYllY-tlllhcd supporting i anges h, tr 0 pairs of oblique set screw: s i to hold the inner box, set screw. 5 j for holding the outer 'box, and overhanging flanges It for sup ortiug these latter serev-s, these flanges k icing removiibl fastened in place by serex. bolts l. S'uitab 6 set screws in are tapped throughthe outer boxes or ca {and f to regulate tlteelamping aetionof t-lie )earmg boxes upon the shaft, that is, to properly space them with reference to the shaft.

To remove the bearingbox I proceed as follows1--I first loosen the two set screws and then remove the two set screws m just' below whereupon the cap or outer box of the upper hearing may he slid out upwardly. Then the cap Onotlter box of thelower hearing may be removed first removing the two lugs or flanges k by'rneans of-the clam F ing screws lwhcroup'on'theouter box may ewithdrawn lrontward from between the side flanges g, The spindle may then be removed, and subsequently the two rear or inner bearings e and 1: may be readily removed by first slackening tlroblique set screws 71 and i.

It will be observed that when the babbitts -,,-,beco1ne Worn the, bearing blocks ma be rbar'lilyzremoved and a new set with new abbitts (kept in readiness-for the oeojfision) may be put- 11; place. In this way that is by keeping on hand "he or more eittra sets of bearings with newiabbitts in them, the bearings may be ions ed in any one of the side heads with' 'the hiss of bht a-few minutes time'whereby with the constructions helfitofore in use the time re aired for renewing the lmbbitts has involve'i a material loss. It will be observed also thatwith my construetii'iiithe spindle may be raised and lowered without stopping the machine and thattalso the spindle may always be keptplumb thus permitting the stock to be ru'atrfiledv up at all times. I. prefer usinig the means shown for raising am lowering t 1e shaft. These means consist of a, shoe 2 vertieail elidable m the frame and having adgustt y secured on its upper, end a twoqia'rt cap 3 which engages a neck or grooveformed in the lower em of the shaft and is adjustably clam ed to the upper end of the shoe by sereigbo ta 4, thus rota- 1'10 tably supportingthe sha on the shoe. The

shoe is raised and lower-ell by means of a van.

tical screw rod 5 suitably 'ournaled in the what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a side head frame and a 8 indie, of upper and lower journal boxes eacli consisting of a pair of bearing blocks carryim babbitts, side flanges on the head frame em racing the blocks and having overhanging flanges extending'lover in front of the outer box, set screws y', y, in said overhanging flanges engaging the front blocks, set screws 14ft, in the said side flanges engaging the inner bearing-block, the overhanging flanges on the lower one of the boxes bein removable, and a series of set screws m ta pe through the outer box or cap of each earing, all for the purpose set forth.

2. In combination, aside head frame, a vertical s indle, two bearing blocks, an upper bearing or the spindle, consistin of side flanges on the head frame provide with inwardly extending lower flanges and overhanging outer flanges anda suitable series of screw bolts for holding the two bearing blocks adjustably and removably in position, a 1;

lower bearing consisting of side flan es on the head frame provided with inwar y extending lower flanges and overhanging outer flanges, these latter flanges being removable,

and means below for supporting and adjusting the spindle in said bearings.

3. In combination, a frame, a vertical spindle, an upper bearing consisting of a pair of bearin blocks and slde flanges g for removably holding the bearing blocks in position, flanges hon said flanges g for vertically supporting the bearing blocks, the outer bearing block or cap being removable upwardly from its support, and a lower bearin consisting of a pair of bearing blocks an means for supporting. them vertically and laterally, the supporting means embodyin means whereby the blocks may be remove frontward from-the bearings, substantially as set forth.

In testimon whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in tie presence of two witnesses this 17 day of July 1908.
